Simulation of Tropospheric Ozone Concentrations at the Regional Scale During the Summer of 1988

PI将测试和应用嵌套光化学和 气象模型，以确定他们的能力，以模拟 臭氧、氮氧化物的产生和输送，以及 地球边界的人为和生物烃 层. 具体来说，PI计划模拟光化学 一段时期内对流层臭氧的产生和输送 一个月，一个地区，包括东半部， 北美洲和西大西洋（1988年夏季），至 比较模拟和观测到的农村和城市臭氧 并查明差异的原因 在它们之间，比较其他模拟浓度 与臭氧产生有关的物种及其观测结果， 评估预测浓度对以下因素的敏感性： 不确定的模型输入，并调查敏感性， 温度，并优化嵌套区域的设计- 选择农村和城市应用的比例模型。

The PIs will test and apply nested photochemical and meteorological models to ascertain their ability to simulate the production and transport of ozone, nitrogen oxides, and anthropogenic and biogenic hydrocarbons in the earth's boundary layer. Specifically, the PIs plan to simulate photochemical production and transport of tropospheric ozone over a period of one month and an area which encompasses the eastern half of North America and the western Atlantic Ocean (summer 1988), to compare simulated and observed rural and urban ozone concentrations and to identify the causes of discrepancies between them, to compare simulated concentrations of other species related to ozone production with observations, to evaluate the sensitivity of the predicted concentrations to uncertain model inputs, and investigate sensitivities to temperature, and to optimize the design of a nested regional- scale model for selected rural and urban applications.
